Visual Management
Visual management is a key strategy in manufacturing that uses visual cues to enhance communication and efficiency on the shop floor. In the context of Industry 4.0, visual management integrates digital displays and dashboards to provide real-time data on production processes. For example, digital boards can show machine status, production targets, and safety alerts, enabling workers to quickly identify issues and make informed decisions. This approach not only improves operational transparency but also fosters a proactive work environment. Challenges may include the initial investment in technology and ensuring data accuracy.
